| Gael Monfils and Stefanos Tsitsipas in 2019 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships semi final. |
Frenchman Gael Monfils, who was 3-0 down in the first set before storming back to
win five games in a row to take it 6-4, the defeat by Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece was hard to take, and
one he pinned on his faulty serve. The defeat came in at 4-6, 7-6, 7-6.
“In terms of the game, I guess I had some opportunities,” the world No. 23 said.
“I couldn’t make them great today. I think I was up a break, and I
didn’t serve that good starting the second set. It was big confirmation
when he broke me back. Less first serve, less accuracy.”
Monfils has admiration for the Greek player, “He’s a great player. He just broke the top 10. He’s one of the best players in the tour.”
